George Barker Park is located on Clear Lake, a
cypress-lined lake populated with water birds and popular with
boaters using the lake for fishing. Originally developed in 1968,
Barker Park was renovated in 1996 to include a fishing pier on Clear
Lake and a new bridge. The park is named for George A. Barker Jr., a
former City Commissioner. This 7-acre neighborhood park provides a
variety of recreational opportunities for neighboring residents as
well as attracting people interested in boating and for family
reunions and gatherings.
